– (top) California has two public university systems. The University of California (UC) is the research system of public higher education in California. The UC system emphasizes a theory-based approach to learning and offers doctorate programs in most disciplines along with graduate opportunities in medicine, dentistry, business, law, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine. The California State University (CSU) is the system of higher education in California that grants the highest number of Bachelor’s degrees. The CSU offers traditional and career specific majors, with graduate opportunities at the Master’s level. The CSU has a more practical, career-oriented approach to education in contrast to the more theoretical approach offered by the UC.
